Tuesday 9th June
Film: The Future of Energy
Free Entry
8pm start
In 2007, a fierce tornado struck Greensburg, Kansas, and annihilated the vast majority of its buildings and infrastructure. Undaunted, the community decided to rebuild by harnessing the same power that was once the cause of its destruction: wind. Today, Greensburg is entirely operated on 100% renewable wind energy. Their shining example sets the stage for the remainder of the film, which urges the necessity for similar progressive actions in every city across the globe.
The film will be followed by a discussion on the possibilities of clean renewable energy here in Calderdale. Friends of the Earth Calderdale will be collecting climate pledges for a mass lobby of parliament which is taking place on June 17th and there might just be time to reserve a ticket on a coach that’s going down there.
